The European nations divided Africa into colonies based on artificial regions, ignoring the ethnic and tribal divisions that had existed. This caused conflicts between native populations, as well as with their colonial governments.
By conquests from several European nations. The European nations had many firearms, and Africa and India did not have that many at all compared to the Europeans. This caused conquests and how India and Africa became part of the British Empire
It was colonized because there was a lot of gold and diamonds in Africa
After World War II, several European countries lost their colonies in Africa as a result of decolonization movements. Notable examples include the United Kingdom, which granted independence to nations like India and many African countries, including Ghana and Kenya. France also faced significant decolonization, losing territories such as Algeria and Senegal. Other countries like Belgium and Portugal similarly relinquished their colonies in Africa during this period, leading to the emergence of new nations across the continent.

No European countries own a "colony" in Africa anymore. Spain does, however, own two small cities in North Africa (they are not colonies, they are parts of Spain). France and the United Kingdom own some islands off the coast of Africa, as well.
All of Africa was at one point or another an European posession, with the exception of Liberia.

It motivated other European countries to seek African colonies for their economic benefit.
European countries began dividing Africa into colonies during the late 19th century, a process that intensified after the Berlin Conference of 1884-1885. This conference established the rules for the colonization of Africa, leading to the rapid acquisition of territories by European powers. By the early 20th century, most of the continent had been claimed by various European nations. The colonial period profoundly impacted Africa's political, social, and economic structures.
